Thanks to everyone for registering for Driftless Doubles. We are currently full with 108 players! This is going to be a lot of fun!

I got a chance to get down to Rochester to play the Driftless 18 course two days ago with a couple of friends for the second time. The course is looking great, but it is easy to underestimate how grueling the course can be in hot and humid summer conditions. There is a lot of elevation. We spent extra time looking for our discs in the tall grass and rough. We ran out of water and Gatorade half way through the round and we cut the round short.

I am concerned that two rounds on Driftless 18 is going to be way too much. I want people to be safe and not get dehydrated or exhausted. With that said, I am changing the format to just one round of Driftless 18 and a "Finals" where only the top 45% of each division will play a second round where we will play Driftless 9 twice for 18 more holes. If you make the cut for the second round, you will receive a payout for top performers.

We will plan on taking a long lunch break to help everyone rehydrate and cool down. I will plan on bringing some water for the players but be sure to bring plenty of your own and stock up for your rounds. Let me know if you have any questions. I am doing this for everyone's best interests. If you want to withdraw for any reason, just contact me.

Maybe next year we can coordinate this event earlier in the season to avoid the heat and overgrown foliage.

Thanks,

The registration is set up and ready to go. Players can register with their partners for the division(s) for which they qualify based on their PDGA rating. Players can play in divisions above their rating/classification but can't play in divisions below their rating/classification. These PDGA doubles events don't affect individual ratings but players still earn PDGA points.

For example, if golfer A is a male classified as an amateur and has a rating of 920, he would need to find a partner who is an amateur rated below 935 for the team to compete in the MA2 division. If golfer A has an amateur partner that has a 935 rating or higher (or a pro under a 970 rating), the team would have compete in Advanced or Pro divisions. If golfer A has a 980 rated partner classified as a pro, the team would need to play in the Pro division. Let me know if you have any questions.
